🚂 Superstar Rajinikanth teams up with Lokesh Kanagaraj in Coolie — one of the year’s most hyped Tamil releases. But did it live up to expectations?
In this episode of Paisa Vasool, Sravan and Tarun break down the film’s highs and lows: Rajini’s screen presence, Anirudh’s score, underutilised stars, shaky logic, and why the second half completely derails. We also discuss Nagarjuna’s role, cameo overload, and where this leaves Lokesh after back-to-back disappointments.

Rewind to 2007 as we revisit Munna, the Prabhas starrer that had style, twists, and some seriously tight shirts. Joined by special guest and lifelong Munna fan Bhargava (aka Bujji), we dive into the film’s music, action, Prabhas’s fashion choices, and the twist-heavy final act. Is it an underrated gem or a relic of its time? We also rank our top 5 Prabhas films and relive some wild early-2000s Telugu cinema nostalgia.
🔊 Recorded before Kalki's release — but our love (or confusion) for this movie is timeless.

Is this Suriya-starrer directed by Siva a masterpiece or a misstep? We dive into its deafening sound mix, poorly executed plot, and wasted performances. Does it deserve the criticism, or is it unfairly judged? Hear our brutally honest review, where we break down the highs (if any), the lows (many), and why this might be one of the worst films of the year.
Plus, stay tuned for insights into Kanguva’s massive production budget, comparisons with Magadheera and Devara, and a sneak peek into upcoming releases like Pushpa 2.
